7:49pm.

you were seated across from dohyun, at the end of the extended dinner table with a variety of different foods to choose from. the two of you were currently having dinner with one another. there was nothing but complete silence that filled the atmosphere.

the entire day was monotonous, the same as usual. meanwhile, dohyun was out for work.

throughout the day, there was only one thing that occupied your mind — there was only one person, that you weren't able to get your mind off of.

"it would be unkind and discourteous to decline a visit..." dohyun's voice cut you out of your train of thoughts, as you quickly glanced towards him and back towards your full plate of food.

with a fork occupying your right hand, you poke at your plate, at loss of an appetite.

"darling," dohyuns call for you has only caused you to give your full attention to him. your eyes scan the man who wiped his mouth with a new napkin, as he had an eyebrow lifted.

"are you even listening?"

your expression remains blank, as you cleared your throat and straightened your slouch position.

bewildered, dohyun leaned back in his seat, resting both arms on the armrests, of the dining room seat. uninterested, you neglected his intense yet piercing gaze that's fixated on you. disapproval written over his face, dohyun sighed.

"i do not appreciate your manners." dohyun speaks out, but you remained silent avoiding yourself from making eye contact with him.

you weren't in the mood to argue but as always, he always figured out ways to provoke you, though he doesn't realize it — dohyun was a thoughtless man.

"enough with the avoiding, look at me when you're spoken to. don't be so impolite."

"i don't want to argue, dohyun." you responded, as your eyes locked with his. however not realizing it, your previous serene expression soon turned into a cold glare.

"that expression of yours shows me that you are in a way, upset with me." he replied, leaning forward instead resting his arms over the table displayed in front of him. "keep looking at me like that, and you are practically asking for a punishment." and at his statement you stand up from your seat pushing the chair back due to your movement.

dohyuns gaze remains on your figure, "i've lost my appetite, i'll be upstairs." you informed the man as you left the scene, heading towards the staircase as dohyun continued to consume his dinner.

approximately ten minutes has passed, and you are seated on the sofa inside of the master bedroom. your patience was so little, and the last person you wanted to see was dohyun. you were already aware that you both would end up arguing — as per usual.

you were sipping on tea that one of your servants in the house has brewed for you shortly after you have entered the bedroom.

eyes focused on the television that played a random movie, you didn't realize dohyun's sudden presence entering the room.

shock invaded you as dohyun suddenly takes a seat over the empty spot beside you, leaving a distance between the both of you. you didn't bother to spare him a glance but kept your eyes on the film, played.
